The Singapore OS/2 User Group

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Our user group celebrated its 4th anniversary this year in March 1996.  The user group grew up from its roots in the National University of Singapore, where a small group of lecturers and students got together to share and learn about OS/2.  By the following year, the user group threw open its doors to the general public.  Membership is free and we welcome one and all.  We have a registered membership of over 100.  The user group meets on the first Friday every month at IBM Singapore.  The Singapore User Group is indebted to the support provided by IBM Singapore, and its dedicated group of Team OS/2 supporters!!
